I hope to improve my photography; therefore, I'm going to try to submit a weekly photo to Sweet Shot Tuesdays at My 3 Boybarians.

Kitchen Update
I submitted the following question to Betsy Speert's Blog:
Dear Betsy,
We live in a rustic cottage and the kitchen is a dark cave. I'd like to paint the walls and cabinets white. Do you have a favorite paint and color for painting kitchens?

Do you think I should paint my cabinets and walls white?
Thanks for visiting.

Thank You
This campaign dresser is my personal favorite project from 2011, and it also got the most features.
I'd like to thank everyone that featured this dresser the first time I posted it and also the year end features.
Visit these blogs and be ready to be inspired.

Painting the Kitchen
We live in a charming, rustic cottage (i.e, it needs a lot of work). The kitchen is a dark cave. Part of the reason the kitchen is dark is that it's on the north side of the house and the ceiling in the kitchen is 7 feet.
I bought a a small sample of paint yesterday and painted to the left of the window. I think I like it!
I've been thinking about painting the kitchen for a long time and have decided to paint the walls and the cupboards. I feel a need to lighten and brighten this year.

Christmas Reflections
I started decorating for Christmas a few weeks ago. I set out candles, silver and pine cones; that's as far as I got with the decorating when I got the news that my brother had passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. He was 52. It kind of knocks the wind out of you. I feel like I'm moving through quicksand.
I was going to get out some more decorations today, and I just couldn't. So I decided to take photos of what I have and post it.
I know these photos won't win any prizes, but it's been weeks since I took any photos or posted to my blog, and I enjoyed the process again. I've missed it.
I love Christmas. I'll just be celebrating in a quiet, reflective way this year.
